Learning a new language is rarely easy, so the Varsity Tutors Chicago Korean course was developed to help you tap into your study strengths, build your confidence, and provide individualized instruction that resonates with YOU.

When teaching a language, traditional classroom instructors and professors have a lot of limitations. They typically deliver pre-approved curriculum and only have a certain number of instructional hours for each class to cover ALL their content and try to answer as many questions as they can. Even if they're fantastic instructors, there are only so much they can address during a class period.

Many students that wish to become fluent in a language may find that this type of classroom instruction is not nearly enough. You need to make time to work on reading comprehension, practice speaking, and - with Korean - write in a whole new system of symbols. It's not an easy process, but it can be conquered with the right resources and guidance.

This is where enrolling in a Varsity Tutors Chicago Korean class can really help. Instructors are highly qualified, approachable, and excel at helping learners find the methods that work best for them when it comes to language acquisition. A language course gives you the chance to work through areas that are challenging for you while sharpening your independent-learning and self-management skills.

What can I learn with the Tutors Chicago Korean Course?

Even though the peninsula is split, Korean is the official language of both North Korea (the Democratic People's Republic of Korea) and South Korea (the Republic of Korea). Nearly 75 million people speak the Korean language, which is considered an 'isolate' because it has no direct relation to any other language. It is structured differently than English in that every sentence must always end with a verb or with an adjective. Also, the most common sentence struct is subject-object-verb. This is often a struggle for native-English speakers to whom the order would appear grammatically incorrect. For example, a sentence in English might say, "I bathed the baby," whereas in Korean, the sentence would be constructed "I the baby bathed."

In Korean, not only are grammar and syntax important, but you also need to be careful about how you address someone. There are different "levels" of speech used that show respect for your audience. Learners must use verbs correctly in order to strike the right tone of formal politeness, informal politeness, or casual speech when addressing someone.

Having a knowledgeable expert available can make a difference when you are learning this intricate language. Whether you need help with basic skills like writing and reading entirely different types of symbols, or if you need to make sure you are respectfully addressing a potential business associate, participating in one of these courses can help you handle the nuances while sharpening your study skills at the same time.
